Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I will have to think about that but I will answer the rest of the questions.

In terms of the standards, the HSE has a set of guidance that it has published, which is detailed. It focuses primarily on making it clear that this is the patient's money. It is not the HSE's money and it is not to be used for HSE purposes. It goes into a great deal of detail about that and about the difficult part to support, which is family members interacting around patients, particularly when they do not have capacity. It covers all those issues in detail and the financial regulations which we published as well build on that. There is quite a detailed set of written guidelines.
